The Bowl of Saki Commentary

This Unity is the greatest achievement conceivable. As a matter of fact, it is most difficult to find this unity in variety. There are sounds insects make that the human ear cannot hear; there are many vibrations of light and energy the eye does not appreciate and the instrument of one's ear cannot measure, for they are so delicate and they are continually being discovered. This shows that although there may be a unity in variety it is not always apprehended even when most appreciated.

As soon as the mind is quieted one finds the real cosmic vibrations which flow through the human heart and are even touched by and in the bloodstream. When one finds the blood mentioned in the Bible and Upanishads and Qur'an, it is because there is a tremendous significance there. For it is the heart and blood that keep the body a unity, and it is the love of God that keeps the Universe as a unity, which would otherwise be chaos. It is even said that when Parabrahm retains his breath the Universe is destroyed. This means that absence of God constitutes destruction-true alike of the Universe, ourselves, and our thoughts and emotions.
